2 arrested in connection to home invasion

Melbourne police received a call at 11:41 p.m. of possibly four black males, some armed with firearms, forcefully entering a home on Pepper Avenue.

Officers said the homeowner Mike Augenti fired his handgun at the men and one of them may have been shot.

Firearms were recovered at the scene, according to officials.

Officers searched the nearby area for the men but did not find anyone.

An officer waiting at Holmes Regional Medical Center located 25-year-old Bobby Culler when he was dropped off at the hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the arm, according to a release.

Authorities said two other men were stopped in a vehicle as they drove away from the hospital.

One of the men in the vehicle, 18-year-old Leonard Valentine, was arrested and charged with armed burglary and violation of probation.

The driver of the stopped vehicle was released and Culler was arrested for having an active warrant.

Brevard County officials said Culler is one of their most wanted fugitives.

Augenti's dog was injured in the shooting, but is expected to be OK.

This incident is still under investigation and additional charges are pending.
